Too bad that FedEX can’t deliver the mail, too. I think they do an exceptional job.

Remember, FedEx is an air carrier that has trucks. UPS is a trucking company that has airplanes.

Both almost went under in the Great Obama Recession and were asking for bailouts.

That was because their parcel volume collapsed.

USPS had a similar problem ~ mail volume dropped, the Postal Rate Commission would not allow them a rate adjustment, and Congress refused to allow them to discontinue operations that are excessively costly.

Hmm ~

BTW. Neither UPS nor FedEx deliver to the entire USA. They regularly mail their out of range stuff with USPS.

FedEx DOES deliver US mail. They have a contract to do long haul air freight of USPS priority and next day letters and packages.
The USPS is tanking depsite FedEx helping them with their most time-sensitive packages.
